Treats from the Solar Drier

The solar drier is never empty – we’re making the most of this hot weather. It’s fun having a play with different fruits – like orange and strawberry.

What a revelation dried strawbs are! I have lots of little jars full of my own grown, own dried fruits to choose from for snacks and mueslis. Every piece becomes precious – though this is as it should be – dried fruit is a small amount snack.
